Default changed spark plugs in stock 36 engine

and i get a sparking sound when engine is running, and you can see a small spark at the top of the plug, only 4 of the new plugs do this, i was hoping some one could shed some light on this, than you, bob

Is the wire pushed firmly down on the plug?

If you have carbon radio resistor type wires this happens when they get old and break down. Start your engine in the dark and see if you can see sparking along the plug and coil wires.
